Actually, the New York City Department of Sanitation has to spend extra money each year to deal with all the trees. Tomorrow is the last day it will have crews collecting trees. Special Christmas tree-only collection routes were established from January 5 to January 16. However, only trees stripped of all decorations (and I'm assuming stands) would be picked up and also gound into mulch for use in city parks.
However, if you took the time
to pick out a tree, drag it up into your apartment, decorate, water and take pictures
by it during the holiday season, doesn't it deserve a better send off than left out on the sidewalk? If you bring your ch ild to choose a tree, why not teach the child to dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner? The Parks Department had drop off points in city parks so they could be mulched on the weekend of January 6th and 7th. Why make the city spend money to pick up your tree and take it the park. Or even worse, to the dump?
